11 months TODAY!

Hi!

Our Brock-STAR!
Brock is 11 months old today...April 29th! He is growing so fast and he has got the cutest personality...as you can probably see in these pictures. He has learned how to say "hi" and wave. He can give you "FIVE" and loves to play outside. (good thing the weather has been beautiful here!) 

The video below is in honor of Vickie (my mom-in-law)...see there is sound on your camera! 

No need for a video camera!

Brock's 1st Easter

Brock's first Easter was a wonderful day celebrating our Risen Lord Jesus Christ. The weather was beautiful and Brock had so many new experiences. On Saturday we had to hunt down the Easter Bunny too. As you can see Brock couldn't stop watching him. 

"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said." Matthew 28:6

Trying new things...

Yum Yum... celery!

Brock enjoys trying new foods...but quickly decides he doesn't like it most of the time. He loved his first biter biscuit...however, so did Abby. Brock was being so sweet and trying to share with Abby, but instead she snatched it away from him and swallowed it. He then looked at me and reached out his hands for another. So he got biter biscuit #2... 5 minutes after biter biscuit #1. He definitely enjoyed it! Check out his excitement in the video below. 

Gone Fishing

Brock had his first fishing trip this past weekend. We visited a friend's cabin on the river and had a great time. The weather was beautiful and Brock really enjoyed the great outdoors and chasing our friend's dog, Sadie, around in his walker.  But no fish were caught by Brandon. Maybe next time...

9 months & Growing!

Brock had his 9 month checkup today and he is 27.5 inches long and 16 pounds and 12 ounces. He's a little guy, but very healthy. He's grown 1 1/2 inches since last visit! Although it has only been 9 months, I can barely remember his first few days. He was so little! Look at this sweet Baby Brock at just a few days old and under 6 pounds. Wow! Time does fly by! And boy does he grow fast!

Oh so silly...

Brock has decided that he can pretty much go all day without a nap. Lately he has been taking 2 very short naps...we call them "nappettes". By short, I mean less than 30 minutes. Where does he get his energy because he is up and running...really...speed crawling! He can climb the stairs and can stand one handed! He is silly and fearless! I remember what my sister told me...choose your "no's" wisely because otherwise all he will hear is "no". Because all he wants to touch is stuff he shouldn't. What toys? His world is full of toys...the entire house is a toy! He is quite an explorer and can find anything...he even looks under the bed for Abby.

Daddy got up Brock's swing but it was way too cold to stay outside for long. Don't worry Walter...Brandon would not allow any holes in the pergola! He found another way to hang it other than drilling holes in his new shade structure.

Brock also has 2 teeth showing. And boy are they sharp. He grabbed my finger the other day in the car and chomped down hard and I screamed. I must have scared him as much as he scared me because he started to cry. Whoops.

On the move...

Brock is quite the crawler these days. He is constantly pulling up on everything. Watch out Abby dog...Brock is on the move! Brock has also figured out how to stand in his crib. We'll have some tooth marks on the rails for sure, as he has a need to chew on everything!

Teeth, crawling & standing all in the same week! Now my daily goal is to be sure he doesn't hit his head everywhere he goes. But he is fast...so I am getting my workout every moment!
